Department of Defense not dropping BlackBerry

Various recent reports have indicated the Department of Defense is planning to drop BlackBerry in favor of Apple, but the DoD says that's not true. In a statement to PCMag, DoD spokesman Lt. Col. Damien Pickart said those reports are in error.

"The department is aware of recent reporting that asserts it is 'dropping' BlackBerry. This reporting is in error. The department recently released its mobility strategy and supporting implementation plan, which clarifies we are moving towards a mobile management capability that supports a variety of devices, to include BlackBerry," Lt. Col. Damien Pickart, an official DoD spokesman, told PCMag.

So it looks like the DoD will keep some BlackBerrys around in addition to other platforms. That's great news for BBRY!
